Kasuga Aya woke from the brink of death. The first thing she saw was the devastatingly handsome face of a certain blond detective. At the same time, the System's excited announcement exploded in her mind like fireworks--
[Ding! Detected that Host successfully stole the first kiss of the Murder Detective. The Harem King System has been activated!]
[Handsome Man Collection mission unlocked. Host, work hard to achieve the ultimate title: Yokohama's Harem King, the supreme owner of a fish pond!]
[Cast your net: it's your specialty. Being caught in it is their privilege. Congratulations, Host, on unlocking the first potential fish in your pond!]
[He watched you with such concentration, his eyes tightly shut. He lowered his head without hesitation, but his kiss was so inexperienced. Was he timid, or just being too careful? Host, let me tell you: a smart guy with zero dating experience is the easiest to fool! Heh heh heh~~]
Kasuga Aya glanced at the handsome man with his clear, innocent eyes, completely baffled. You call giving someone CPR a kiss? Are you even a legitimate System?
[Oh, right, Host. A friendly reminder: failure to complete the mission will result in your death~]
Me, a forever-single person, becoming a harem king?
Fail and I'm killed???
How is that any different from asking me to die?

Ayatsuji Yukito had always thought dolls were far cuter than humans, until he met Kasuga Aya.
He'd failed to uncover the truth behind his parents' "accidental" deaths because he hadn't finished the job she'd commissioned him to do. Then he'd been placed under the Special Division for Unusual Powers' forced supervision because of his ability, [Another]. He was filled with regret.
Then the girl grew into someone strong enough to stand before him. She took his hand and said solemnly, "Ayatsuji, until I find a way to set you free, I'll lend you my eyes and ears."
As if bewitched by those eyes, like a clear sky veiled in mist, Ayatsuji Yukito heard himself answer, "All right."
It felt wonderful to see the vast world, but sometimes Ayatsuji Yukito thought that maybe he didn't need these eyes after all.
Especially when he could "witness" Kasuga Aya's "crimes" every day.
For example...
When a certain someone openly "showed off their love" with that bespectacled guy everywhere they went.
That bastard's face is practically as red as a monkey's butt. You seriously haven't noticed, Aya?!
And then there was that black-haired, bandage-wrapped guy with the green tea act. He claimed to be helping, but he was really just stirring up trouble. He was practically demanding round-the-clock personal care.
His intentions are plain for everyone to see, except you, Kasuga Aya, you block of wood!
And then there was that Russian sickly guy who kept talking about his destined other half, and how she was fated to belong to him.
Heh.
Hehehe.
Hehehehehe.
Ayatsuji Yukito, with a bellyful of anger, finally got to appear in public that day.
With a great battle looming, he ignored the wary looks of everyone around him and teased Kasuga Aya meaningfully: "Aya, I hear you've become Yokohama's Harem King?"
Kasuga Aya was just about to take out her ability bow and arrows and get to work when she turned pale with shock.
Oh no, has everyone found out I've been bound to the Harem King System?
No, Ayatsuji, wait! You, you, you, you have to let me explain! (Make excuses!) Aaaah!
Core theme: Wherever my arrows fly, there lies the truth.
